Abstract:
The results of an excavation ahead of development for a single new home on land (c. 370m2) to the rear of Pickwick House, New Buckenham. The site is located to the rear of Pickwick House, within the medieval planned town of New Buckenham. Excavation amounted to the reduction of the new house footprint to a depth of c.0.55m to accommodate a raft construction. This shallow level of disturbance revealed only post-medieval and later deposits, with hand auger testing revealing sand and sandy-clay at a depth of c.1m below the modern ground surface (with demolition rubble of uncertain date encountered at a similar depth in the northern area of the site). The demolished garage was a 20th century conversion of the remains of a pair of 19th century cottages, part of the south-western wall of which has been reduced in height to form part of a new front boundary wall to the site. The cottage had relatively shallow footings and was constructed on an area of hard clay make-up and levelling material. A cache of beer and wine bottles was noted within the repaired fabric of the building. Noteworthy finds include a copper-alloy horse-harness buckle, a Charles II farthing and a Westerwald Stoneware tankard rim sherd, which date from the 17th to 18th century; when this area of land formed part of a complex to the rear of Pickwick House, believed to have included an oat mill.
